Dystopian masterpiece Brazil follows Sam Lowry, a government employee who escapes monotony through daydreams of himself as a winged hero rescuing a beautiful woman.

Starring Jonathan Pryce, Ian Holm, Michael Palin, Katherine Helmond, Kim Griest, and Robert DeNiro, and co-written by Terry Gilliam, Tom Stoppard, and Charles McKeown.
